I don’t agree at all. Microsoft and Symantec are friends, so Microsoft paid it to make this report or something. Firefox is “open source” – the bugs and holes, if at all present, are reported and fixed IMMEDIATELY.

Well, Symantec Norton Anti-virus comes with windows xp/vista.
And probably more people use internet explorer because half of the people using the internet are probably new timers and don’t know what the hell firefox is.

“One reason behind the more security holes in Firefox[Updated] is its popularity over the Internet explorer.”
IE has about 80% of the browser market, not the other way around.
Ryan, XP/Vista does not come with Norton AV. Computer manufacturers include it with your new computer. Install a retail copy of Windows and you won’t find any AV software.
